How to Use This Lake, Pennsylvania Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lake, Pennsylvania. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Pennsylvania or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Lake.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Lake, Pennsylvania

Lake is a locality in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,935. Lake is located at 41.3526°N, 76.0324°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 18618.

Lake emerges from the landscape as a quiet convergence of water and verdant earth, defined by the persistent, rhythmic flow of Harveys Creek as it carves through the local terrain. It lies 9.4 miles northwest of Kingston, PA (from Kingston, PA: bearing 312°T), and is situated 3.8 miles west-northwest of Dallas. {NAVIGATION_SENTENCE} The physical character of Lake is shaped by the presence of Harveys Lake, which anchors the geography and dictates the way light collects upon the water at dusk, turning the surface into a sheet of hammered pewter. Beyond the immediate banks, the land rises into the persistent, shadowed depths of Bear Hollow, where the air grows cooler and the soil holds the scent of damp hemlock and ancient decay. Far to the south, the faint, jagged silhouette of the Pocono Mountains stains the horizon, a reminder of the vast, complex geological architecture that separates this interior basin from the distant, unseen flatlands of the east.

History in Lake remains etched into the land itself, lingering in the quiet corners of the Mekeel/Wallace Tracts where the forest has reclaimed the remnants of earlier endeavors. The economy here has long been tethered to the slow pulse of the land, moving away from the intensity of old-world extraction toward a more measured, seasonal existence. Life in Lake follows the turning of the seasons, where the preservation of the landscape has become a quiet, collective labor, and the primary industry is the careful stewardship of the woods and waters. The atmosphere is one of deliberate stillness, a place where the passage of time is measured not by the clock, but by the way the shadow of the ridges lengthens across the fields as the afternoon sun begins its retreat.
